I buy new Japanese BDs from CDJapan because of their superb packaging. They charge SRP (minus Japanese tax) on Blu-rays, but the reward points, point campaigns and coupons make the prices more tolerable. I usually pick the cheapest tracked option, registered airmail, but it unfortunately has...

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners got delayed to December in Germany (11th) and France (Steelbook 3rd, Deluxe 17th).

Digibeta is SD. The old HD master is from a noisy CRT telecine probably intended for HDTV broadcast. It didn't get a new remaster from the 35mm film until recently probably due to lack of interest from the parties involved. --------------------- I wonder if the frame glitch early on in the...

Deluxe Edition seems to carry over the physical extras from the Aniplex release. Packaging is different though; Aniplex release has a clear PET O-ring that holds the digipack, books and extras together. Deluxe Edition seems to have a chipboard box with the 2nd anniversary artwork.

The authoring house applied dynamic range compression to all the audio tracks to make quieter scenes louder and louder scenes less loud. While dynamic range compression can be desirable in some situations, such as watching with the TV's built-in speakers or late at night, it shouldn't be...

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Blu-ray should be revealed soon. The German Deluxe Edition and steelbook have been listed on Anime Planet with a release date of November 20, but cannot be ordered at the moment and the images have been blurred. Same discs as the UK and French release. I hope they don't...

I was reading their home page, but I see now that they ship to more places than just the Schengen area.

Aim for the Ace The Movie will be receiving an English subtitled region B release from Tanuko, but they only ship within the Schengen area. Hope they didn't receive a broadcast/streaming master with epilepsy edits like Golgo 13 this time.

It's kind of a pain to get replacement parts/runners if you're not in Japan or US and then you also need to pay for shipping. Since the parts are just joints, consider grabbing them from the bootleg on AliExpress.

The Japanese Blu-ray pre-order campaign had an English subs stretch goal (1.000 pre-orders), but it wasn't met (~600 pre-orders).

The English, German and Italian dubs are also affected by dynamic range compression https://slow.pics/c/K3VEF0wE

Check the center channel. Speech has been boosted and songs from 01:20:00 onward are quieter.

I got The Colors Within German Collector's Edition in the mail today, which uses the discs of the yet to be announced UK release. Screenshot comparison with Japanese release Waveform comparison of the Japanese audio track (from top to bottom: left, right, center, LFE, surround-left&right)...

I placed a Crunchyroll order that comes with the free Ani-May 2025 enamel pin. How does one deal with the free pin when filling in the customs information?

Yeah, it was included with the 2013 Complete Blu-ray Box that iirc only got reprinted once. Only Italy got a non-limited Blu-ray release of the OVA.

Aside from the packaging, there's no difference between the Italian Limited Edition and German Collector's Edition. Same disc contents and languages. Extras are the same, just described in more detail by the Italian side. Both also include the soundtrack CD.

99% chance that the UK release shares discs with their German/Italian Plaion brethren, just like City Hunter Angel Dust. I pre-ordered the German Collector's Edition (should hopefully start shipping on June 5, 2 weeks before official release date).

AL UK BD of The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes is a port of Sentai's BD with the theatrical master. The AL France BD uses the home video master.

Yeah

Yes, both Japanese audio tracks, English subtitles and also Bandai's English dub. The disc contents are the same as the individual releases from 2007/2008. The double pack is OOP, but the individual films are still in print.
